LOS ANGELES (CNN) —

Another day, another controversial Kanye West tweet.

This time, it was a fairly innocuous one that simply read “Day 3.”

The issue, however, was the picture accompanying it, which showed the file-sharing site Pirate Bay as one of the open tabs on the rapper’s browser.

The site is reportedly one of the places where his new album, “The Life of Pablo,” has been pirated hundreds of thousands of times. The album was originally released only on Jay Z’s streaming service, Tidal, and West tweeted that “My album will never never never be on Apple.”

Of course, Twitter users took note of Yeezy’s apparent presence on the site.

Music producer Deadmau5 tweeted, “What the f**k @kanyewest … Can’t afford serum? D**k.” Serum is a synthesizer software used to make music, and the producer later, jokingly, offered to start a Kickstarter campaign to raise the few hundred dollars needed to purchase it.

West’s tweet also shows a site offering “The 50 best VST/AU plugin synths in the world today.” So it would seem that West, who has access to some of the best technology in the world, has a lot in common with music hobbyists: He too may head to Google when looking for inspiration.
